WORLDING • MAKING WORLDS

Four young people with curly hair are gathered around a table, engaged in a chess game. There is a chessboard on the table, along with a cloth with drawings and scribbles, a can, and some chess pieces. The area appears to be a casual indoor setting with a white wall, some posters, and a window or blackboard in the background.
A woman is kneeling on the floor, handling large printed photographs of cracked and webbed glass. The setting appears to be an art studio or gallery, with a netted backdrop and wooden flooring.

Our Story

WORLDING was launched as an artist residency in 2021 by the artist Diogo Pimentão, soon joined by the contemporary art curator Joana P. R. Neves. The decision to launch it came from the awareness, heightened by the pandemic, that artists and art professionals lack moments of exchange, and time away from life and work challenges. To nurture authenticity, we regularly need to reframe work routines, build new connections, and dedicate time to uncompromised experimentation.

That’s where Worlding comes in.
